Learning about the rain forest has always been fascinating to me, and I wanted my students to catch the excitement for learning during our study of the rain forest. Our reading series includes the wonderful book: The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry, so I decided to update my Kids Blog with another assignment.

Students were given the opportunity to watch the story telling video of the book and watch the Amazon Rain Forest Tour. Students were asked to comment on the vivid verbs and adjectives used in the text along with commenting on the new animals they discovered on their tour.

See the video links below and the rain forest projects my students completed. Students were highly engaged and excited about completing the Online research.

Using your textbook, listen to and read along with the video of: The Great Kapok Tree.Post a list of your favorite verbs and adjectives from the text.Watch the Amazon Rainforest Tour

Also, comment on at least 3 new animals you learned about from your reading or video research.
